My name is Catherine Tedford, and I am the art gallery director at St. Lawrence University (SLU), located in northern New York in the United States. I am working with Marina Llorente, professor of Spanish language and literature at SLU, on a project involving street art stickers and other printed materials (flyers, etc.). In one of Marina’s classes, “Literatura, cine y cultura de masas en la España contemporánea,” we have a research and writing assignment in which students study Spanish street art stickers and flyers in relation to current political events and popular culture. In the spring of 2013, we presented an exhibition of this work, which you can read about at: http://stlawu.edu/gallery/exhibitions/f/13streetart_sp.php.

Marina and I would like to offer this writing assignment to students again, and we are wondering if you would be able to send stickers and flyers from your organization for this purpose. My address is below. Your materials will also be scanned, catalogued, and added to an international digital archive of Street Art Graphics, which you can find at http://www.stlawu.edu/gallery/digitalcollections/contemporarystreet.php.
